This looks so yummy and the farmer’s market still has great strawberries. The other thing I do is add a 1/4 cup of egg whites (i like eggology because they are organic) to my smoothies. I find it fills me up a little more and gives me a little more protein in an easy and yummy way!

I just made my first HEALTHY smoothie. I had great intentions when I bought my Vitamix but waited 6 months to use it because it intimidated me..LOL

So today, using your smoothie posts as a base to start with, (and being brave enough to use spinach)… I threw in a frozen banana (Got that idea from your post about blending the bananas into ice cream), some unsweetened vanilla almond milk, dash of vanilla extract, 5-6 drops of vanilla stevia, big handful of organic baby spinach, scoop of vanilla protein powder and some ice. It tasted great and is so healthy.

I’m a leukemia survivor and had never eaten healthy before. But I decided after being so close to death and given a 2nd chance at this thing called life… that I need to change some habits and take better care of my body. I’m excited about healthier eating and your site has contributed a lot towards that. Thanks Dani, and congrats on your newest family member!!

Sandi – Thanks so much for sharing… you are an inspiration to me and many of my readers, I’m sure!!! So happy to know that I can be a part of the healthier choices you are making for yourself!! Your smoothie sounds deeeelish!! I’ll have to give it a try myself;)
